A potential invasion of Taiwan by the People's Republic of China (PRC) is projected to trigger a global economic catastrophe, even if Beijing's forces fail to secure the island. This dire forecast stems from Taiwan's critical role in the global technology supply chain, as it produces approximately 90% of the world’s top-tier microchips and accounts for 60% of worldwide chip revenue. Any disruption to this supply chain due to conflict would have severe and far-reaching economic consequences globally.
